My chest is tight
restriction from an untouchable force
anger
I want to hurt and destroy
bring justice
for every time I’ve been wronged
but this anger is misplaced
towards the innocent
who don’t know any better
so I tuck it away
and it turns inwards
causing so much pain

Eventually
after I’ve tried other things
I have to use physical pain
to make the tension
the frustration
the anger
go away

my anxiety came back
but remixed
with my fear
manifesting as anger
